Indeed, you qualify for the standard "hair pulling" exemption:
The 10 top clues that suggest that a poster will be hard to help:
10 - uses goto statements
9 - is building a speedometer, line following robot or automated chicken coop door
8 - wants to make a normally expensive thing "for cheap"
7 - "urgently needed" or "due tomorrow"
6 - POSTS IN UPPER CASE
5 - "final year project" or "class project"
4 - says "can't wrap my head around...", "bare with me", or "pls" or "plz" anything
3 - trying to "merge" two or more sketches
2 - uses Fritzing
1 - "// Variables will change" is still in the program
Note: "tearing my hair out" is omitted because it is usually associated with extremely simple solutions.
Have you seen the BlinkWithoutDelay example?
